Комментарии тренера спортивной сборной команды России по серфингу Педро Барбудо о BetBoom Чемпионате России по серфингу на короткой доске.
К сожалению, у меня не было возможности поехать в Сочи, чтобы своими глазами посмотреть выступления спортсменов на Чемпионате и Первенстве России по серфингу на короткой доске. Однако благодаря современным технологиям и отличной онлайн-трансляции, организованной Российской федерацией серфинга, я смог увидеть всё происходящее на экране своего ноутбука.
С большим удовольствием наблюдая часами за соревнованиями и наслаждаясь происходящим, я отметил несколько положительных аспектов, которые указывают на явный рост серфинга в России. Вот некоторые из них:
С другой стороны, в конструктивной критике можно отметить следующие моменты:
Кажется, что эти соревнования перевели серфинг в России на новый уровень, и я надеюсь, что он будет развиваться и дальше, привлекая больше внимания со стороны СМИ, серф-сообщества и спонсоров. Это поможет сделать серфинг более признанным и уважаемым видом спортом в России. В таком случае я верю, что будущие поколения серферов получат бóльшую поддержку в своей спортивной карьере, чем предыдущие, что повысит в уровень российского серфинга.
Comments on the BetBoom Surfing National Championship 2024
Unfortunately, I had no chance of traveling to Soshi to assist the National Championships of Surfing in the juniors and open divisions. Fortunately, thanks to technology and to the Russian Surf Federation and it’s amazing online web cast, I could see almost all the competition in my laptop.
It was with pleasure that I spent a good number of hours watching, enjoying the action and realizing some very positive aspects and clear signs of the growth of surfing in Russia, which I mention here some:
1 – Record of number competitors
2 – The return to the National competition of Nikita Avdeev and Sergey Rasshivaev after last year’s absence.
3 – The best juniors for the first time, were able to compete in the open division.
4 – Juniors for the first time winning to some of the best surfers of older generations.
5 – Average level of scores was the highest ever (even with waves sometimes with small size therefore limiting the scoring potential).
6 – The highest score ever done in a heat (Nikita Avdeev - 16,65 Pts).
7 – The more progressive performance ever on Russian competition with Aerial reverse backside by Nikita Avdeev with 9 Pts as single score.
8 – Probably the more professional organized event in the history of national championships (It look that way but I can’t guarantee as I was not there physically).
9 – Good webcast with good image quality and scores updated on the platform on time almost always.
10 – Difficult but very good decision from the organization about extending the waiting period to have minimally proper waves to finish the competition. In the end, waves came with good quality as a reward for this good decision and for everyone that, with personal effort, changed their plans and waited more time than planned.
By other hand, in a negative side, points to critique in a positive, constructive perspective:
1 – The inconsistency of Soshi waves makes it very risky and expensive for everyone to go and wait for the forecast.
2 – Some small inconsistencies in the judges scores in the initial heats but it‘s normal in surf competitions as judging is very subjective and difficult task. Anyway, as the competition advanced, the judging improved and, in my opinion, overall, the results were fair and correct.
It seems that, with this competition, the Surfing in Russia is entering a new level of event which I hope it will grow more in the future and will get more and more attention from the media, from the surf community and hopefully from sponsors, to make the surf to become a more recognized and respected sport in Russia. This way, I believe that the future generations can have a much bigger support in their surf sport career than the previous generations and improve the level of Russian surfing in the future.
